In case you didn't get it in class. Use it for Reading Journals.
For your viewing pleasure, here are some sample journals (thanks to the authors) based on Marginal Notes. Each of these writers took a different approach, but all generated valuable discussion points (good) and all cited the text in support (make sure you do this).
You have these in your packet handout, but the file is here for your reference. Also, note that my line numbers are from the "No Fear" version, so they may differ from yours. Regardless, the beginning and ending line references are the same.
For those who have ever wondered: "When will the day come that I can pump iron and recite the most famous soliloquy in the English language?" That answer is "Today".
